SERIES: 82665
TITLE: Silicosis files
DATES: 1920-1950.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological

DESCRIPTION: These records document silicosis cases, mainly among mine workers. Silicosis is a terminal condition resulting from inhalation of silicon dioxide dust. These files include medical records, settlement disputes over workers' compensation benefits, settlement agreements, notices of hearings, transcripts of hearings, doctors' reports, and all related correspondence.

This series refers only to those cases which during the inclusive dates were maintained separately from other industrial accident claims. There are three boxes of these in the Records Center, filed chronologically and by name. Silicosis files are now microfilmed and maintained with all other industrial accident files and are not included in this record series. See series 82010, 82215, 82227, and 83028.
